They see the opportunity to revolutionize ground transportation, and they start an automotive manufacturing company. They tackle huge infrastructure projects such as metro stations, skyscrapers, bridges, tunnels, and dams by starting their own civil engineering firm. They even invest in the arms manufacturing industry. But the road to success won't be easy. Fierce competition awaits them, as robber barons are willing to do everything to crush their competitors. Predator against predator, and government intervention. Poul and Jonathan must use all their engineering expertise and business acumen to navigate this treacherous landscape. Join Poul and Jonathan on their journey to become the wealthiest men in the world in a parallel universe where anything is possible.

Be One Step Ahead

A week had passed since the verdict was delivered in favor of the Axelsen & Nielsen Air Brake Company. Poul Nielsen was seated in his office, surrounded by his clients whom they had almost lost to the New York Air Brake Company. He addressed them, holding their attention with his words.

"As you can see from the news, we are the legitimate inventors of the air brake system and the ones from the New York Air Brake Company are nothing more than an imitation. Of course, I have no hard feelings for all of you, in fact, it was an eye-opener for us that we had not been flexible with our deals," Poul said, waving his hand. "And for that, we have decided to give you all fifteen percent discounts on our product. Of course, the contracts that we signed are still in effect, but should you need more air brakes, especially when the government started mandating it, you'll get the air brake with the same quality at a cheaper cost."
